social distancing delays the spread. it doesn't prevent it. if it made a serious difference, both California and NYC which have the most draconian restrictions, would be the safest places. The opposite is true.

the 1918 Spanish flu statistics demonstrate that overall deaths in Philadelphia (no restrictions) and Pittsburgh (stay at home) had equivalent mortality rates. Philadelphia reached them in 6 weeks. Pittsburgh in 8 or 10 months. A vaccine is the only real hope to prevent deaths of the most at risk.

Actuaries must be ecstatic that projections will be, based on 50 states between 2,000 to 4,000 Americans dead per state. Might get close to that 9/11 one day of holycosts…..especially since NYC is now the epicenter for the USA.

The difference: I can produce links *with credible evidence* supporting the fact of climate change, while any link disputing that fact will not contain credible and definitive evidence. Just as no link with credible and definitive evidence will say that SARS-Cov-2 is the common cold.
